Our morning started out pretty great. To our surprise, Josie's reaction to the piles of presents and the whole idea of Santa went over really well. I got her reaction on video, coming down the stairs and a bit giant "WOW!!!' and running over to check everything out.
We quickly learned after the first few presents and hearing "dada, open'd dit!!!" that we should have planned ahead better and had some of the presents already opened and assembled. Live and learn ;) Even so, we took our time with each present, opened and assembled most everything and had some time to play before dashing off to Mimi's house to meet up with the uncles and Nate! Josie was thrilled with her Toy Story guys, Strawberry Shortcake remote car, and she even got a Hot Wheels Garage and ramp to play with the hundred Matchbox cars her and Dad found in the basement this week (Ed's vintage collection). Not to worry, she got lots of girly things, like some new outfits for her Mrs. Potato head, a collection of Curious George books, and a puzzle too.
At Mimi's house she got spoiled even more, but one of the funniest things was this little remote controlled dog from Uncle Adam. This little guy wags his tail, walks and barks. At one point Josie sat on him thinking he could give her a ride. Surprising that little dog is pretty resilient.
The rest of the day was spent with lots of family. We had lots of amazing food, lots of playing with all the little ones and now back home for a good nights rest. Up and at 'em early tomorrow to play with all our new toys!
